Was Jesus gay?

[Abbey Marie]

I can't believe how many people fell for this one!

Some scholars believe he was. Not that if reflects badly upon His teachings.

It's the usual leftwing tactic, trying to smear a famous person with the behavior they are trying to normalize.

It's like trying to smear Jefferson with miscegenation so that will normalize miscegenation.

The last famous person the homosexual lobby tried to smear was Lincoln, remember that? This lurid book came out about how Lincoln was homosexual, supposedly.

Lincoln had a wife and a number of children and never showed any signs of such a tendency; I don't know what you have to do to prove you aren't one if that's not enough.

The Jesus thing is just more of this sort of normalization drive.

Once NAMBLA gets working on normalization of "man-boy love" we'll be hearing that George Washington and Jesus and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were all pedophiles, I'm sure.

Life is too short to waste on freakazoids' political agendas, IMO. No insult meant to you Gabby, maybe some people will like to discuss this.

Oh heck, some people have even tried to say that Sherlock Holmes - (a fictional character!) was gay. Best just to ignore the nonsense.

I am listening to a course on science fiction, and the prof said that there is an entire line of Star Trek books that portrays all the major characters as homosexuals! Captain Kirk and Spock and so on.

Been reading this thread and I am surprised at how easy it is to bait so many people with such a silly statement. I am sure no reputable scholar would venture such an opinion on such a distant figure as the Galilean teacher. It seems a misguided attempt to make him a more approachable figure for those who are gay when, in actuality, his message was, if believed, to be for all people anyway. As my subject line says, I don't have a horse in this race so my opinion might bear a little more attention. I personally think everyone who responded so vehemently has been had and the original thread was an attempt to do just that - stirring the pot. Again just my opinion and YMMV. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Look up fanfiction online. And no, Spock and Kirk together - never happen IMO. However, Captain and the Doctor - very hot. And no, I will not discuss this any further. <going to eat cadbury's and read a smutty novel on my sick day at home>

God will deal with the blasphemers. May he have mercy on their souls.

No, problem with gabs is that she's serious, and jumps on crap like this quickly.

First, and foremost. Will the One member here who knows for certain, and has proof to present to the rest of us as to whether Jesus was gay, or not PROVE IT here?

Let he who knows Absolutely, Positively. What the answer to the thread's question is....PLEASE show us how dumb you are?

It's called faith. Attributing ANY sin to Jesus is blasphemy.

So if Jesus did it that makes it automatically not a sin?

Cle-ver agenda promoting.

Committing a sin would have voided the capacity for Jesus to provide atonement. There would be no path for sinful man to reconcile with a sinless God.
